Hi,
I've installed Debian Etch and there is this problem:
system starts and during boot it pauses for at least one minute trying
to setting an "ata2" device.

Dmesg shows:

ata2.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xa1)
ata2.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x4)
ata2.00: revalidation failed (errno=-5)
ata2.00: limiting speed to UDMA/25
ata2: failed to recover some devices, retrying in 5 secs
ata2.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xa1)
ata2.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x4)
ata2.00: revalidation failed (errno=-5)
ata2: failed to recover some devices, retrying in 5 secs
ata2.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xa1)
ata2.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x4)
ata2.00: revalidation failed (errno=-5)
ata2.00: disabled
ata2: failed to recover some devices, retrying in 5 secs
ATA: abnormal status 0x58 on port 0x177
ata2.01: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x40)
ata2.01: revalidation failed (errno=-5)
ata2: failed to recover some devices, retrying in 5 secs
ata2.01: configured for UDMA/33
Vendor: HL-DT-ST Model: DVD-ROM GDR8162B Rev: 0015
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 05

If on BIOS I set only the SATA controller active (without PATA) the
system starts endured but Debian don't tecognize cdrom and dvdrom.
The problem has been marked also like bug in the system of tracking of
Debian with the number Bug#402533, but it seems there are no solutions
yet.
Have you some suggestions to solve this problem?
Thank you very much.

Remigio

I have sometimes the same problem with my SATA disk ... the only
solution so far I have found is open the computer and re-plug the SATA
cable to the hard disk... After I reboot the problem goes away... The
seller told me that is because the poor SATA connection but I do not
know if that's true or not. Maybe heat or something :-|

Because the poor SATA? What does it means?
Thank you so much
